5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference! -- (but not the only reference), April 29, 2001

The LMP seems to contain by and far the most complete and organized lists of book (and other media) publishers. If you're serious about publishing just about any type of work, the LMP is a very good place to start. I learned about the LMP via a book by Rudy Shur titled "How To Publish Your Nonfiction Book" in which he describes how to use the LMP to obtain your list of potential publishers in conjunction with other references, including the Writer's Market. While the LMP contains thousands of publishers, cross-referencing them in the Writer's Market and other sources is the way to go. Also, I must admit that I don't own the LMP, but rather go to my local library to use this reference book.

If you're going to invest several hundred dollars in a resource of this magnitude, you are serious about what you're doing. I know I am. Here's a hint: instead of buying these heavy volumes, go instead to literarymarketplace.com and subscribe to the electronic version. The cost is comparable, but with the online version you can instantly make custom databases of the contacts that matter most to you. I ran a search on "book reviewers" in the online version, and inside of an hour I had a database of over 350 book reviewers to instantly merge into form letters in MS Word. Viola! Imagine how long that would take to key in. Yikes. Also, you know that everything is updated regularly. Give them a call and convince them and ask for a free trial.
